Mixed Grains Recipes

Quick meal idea

Long name, lots of ingredients, but fun to make and delicious! I invented this recipe tonight to use up some fresh green beans we had, and also to engage my 5-year-old daughter, who is always wanting to help in the kitchen. We had a great time, and the kids are eating it right up as I write this!

This is a hearty hot cereal. It takes a while to cook, but does very well on the porridge setting of a fuzzy-logic rice cooker. I think it would work overnight in a crock-pot, but I'm not sure.

a mix of barley, golden wheat and spelt - very hearty and filling

MIx all ingredients in a rice cooker and turn on. Presto! The grains can then be mixed with maple syrup for Breakfast, salsa for lunch, fried as fried rice recipes.

This is a wonderfully textured alternative to plain rice. The leftovers make a fantastic fried "rice" the next day with a little olive oil and lite soy sauce!!

This recipe is ridiculously simple and and excellent way to start the day off right! I sometimes struggle to eat breakfast because I get so busy with the kids and don't have time to prep something I want to eat for myself. This solves the question of "what's for breakfast?" for everyone. Just throw everything in the crockpot before you go to bed and in the morning you have a healthy, warm, & tasty breakfast ready and waiting for you.
I have a family of six so this is the right amount for us. If you have a smaller family you can easily freeze portion sizes of this and pull it out the night before to reheat in the morning.

Healthy, tasty and very easy to make, this is a great way of getting some healthy carbs into your diet

This makes a great filling for burritos, tacos or a dish all by itself!
